Here's some stats on soda and sugar sweetened beverages:

• 20 ounce bottle of soda = 250 calories, 16 tsps sugar
• One per day for one year = potential weight gain: 26 lbs.
• 20 ounce bottle sweetened tea = 210 calories, 14.5 tsps sugar
• One per day for one year = potential weight gain: 22 lbs.
• 12 ounce can of soda = 150-180 calories, 8-10 tsps sugar
• One a day for one year = potential weight gain: 16-19 lbs.
